BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[April 10

Increase in Project and Amendment to Contract, Addition to Memorial Stadium, Urbana (32) On March 21, 1985, the Board of Trustees, at the request of the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association, approved an addition to (and renovation of) the football facilities in Memorial Stadium at a cost of $4.2 million. The project is financed from the proceeds of the 1985 Series Auxiliary Facilities Revenue Bond issue. On April 4, 1986, the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Athletic Association approved a $188,000 increase in the project cost: (1) to include additional work not originally contemplated; and (2) to advance the completion date of the second floor area of the project from December 1, 1986, to August 1, 1986. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the allocation of $188,000 be confirmed in order that the project cost may be increased to $4,388,000. It is also recommended that the contract with Kuhne-Petry Associates, Champaign, be increased by $78,700 for the additional costs associated with the acceleration of the date of completion of the second floor area. Funds for the increase in the project are provided from private gift funds through the University of Illinois Foundation for the benefit of the Athletic Association.

On motion of Mrs. Day, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Mr. Howard, Mrs. Shepherd, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Becker, Mr. Lamm; no, none.)
